Rodger,
The picture on P-292 of your book makes me think that the main bents of 28-A are pile. It looks like the strange looking outrigger bracing and the short ones against the abutments are timber but that the main ones are pile.
Guess we will just have to go up there some weekend and check out the remnants.
Bill
